Contextual Overview

1Now David became old and full of days, and he made his son Solomon king over Israel. 2And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel with the priests and the Levites. 3And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward, and their number by census of men was 38,000. 4Of these, 24,000 were to direct the work of the house of Yahweh; and 6,000 were officers and judges, 5and 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 were praising Yahweh with the instruments which David made for giving praise. 6And David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7Of the Gershonites were Ladan and Shimei. 8The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel, three. 9The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' households of Ladan. 10The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiah, and Zetham, and Joel. Not his immediate sons, but some that descended from him.
